Sorry if this information is somewhere else and I am a dunce and overlooking it. When and how will Overclockers be set up for the release of the AMD Radeon RX 7900XT and XTX on the 13th of December? Does anyone perhaps know? I have been looking around but have been unable to find any info and my son is looking to get one for testing purposes.

Thanks for any info/help.
 
Your chances of getting one on launch day are very, very small, you may get (very) lucky but most likely not.

They will be available to buy from OcUK (in theory) from 2pm on the 13th.

Yeah, I remember when he needed the last series and boy was that fun. I didn't manage to get him one on launch day but I stalked the Overclockers forums and because they gave a heads up at one point, I did manage to get him one at a later date. It wasn't his preferred option but since it was for testing purposes, any of the series would do.

Thank you so much for the information though! I will prepare to be disappointed. :)

Yep, I am hopeful if only for that alone. At least, luckily, price isn't the biggest issue for him since it is reimbursed by his employer (tho he doesn't like to spend much, he is a frugal computer geek even with other's money).

Neither of those reasons are why getting a card on launch day will still be difficult.

More the case that this is an AMD release, and AMD releases are always with much smaller quantities of cards than Nvidia and doubly so in the UK market which AMD treats with indifference, if not contempt, these-days.
 
Last Time I got a Sapphire Rx6800 from here on the next day after launch, I hope I can buy a 7900XT or XTX from here, we will see.

there are more places than overclockers to buy a card, there will be plenty available and anyone saying otherwise is just whipping people up to go rabid and spend straight away out of fear
 
Recently I saw a video where Moore's Law Is Dead said he heard in some games even the 7900xt beat the rtx 4090 but in some games even the 4080 beaten the 7900xtx.

My guess would be Raster games for the Radeon and 4080 in RT games. I mean without seeing performance even i could say with confidence that's likely to happen. Should maybe open my own youtube channel.

I worrying about the performance/price difference of the 7900 xt/xtx. 10% less money for 20% less per and -4 Gb ram
 
Igorlabs reported that the European region (which includes the Middle East iirc) had been allocated 10000 cards and that Germany was getting 3000 of those. How many of these cards are available in the UK on launch day is anyones guess.
